It'd be nice if there were some artwork based treats for some backers - like postcard sized prints.

I'll be backing anyway, though

I have the opposite opinions, art based stuff like post cards/posters/prints either get stuffed in the bottom of the box or chucked in the recycle bin at my place. I know some folks love 'em, but to me they are a waste of resources.

Aww, I was hoping the gorilla was going to make it on the cover.

He'll probably make the SNAFU box cover

So you aren't going to put your Incursion movie poster on the side of your garage wall so that Gretel can watch you work on your bike?

Nope. The garage wall space is taken up by windows, a couple of freezers, cabinets and tools. Game related art just doesn't fit in and get put up/displayed at our place.

Again, I know some folks love it, and there is nothing wrong with that, but to me it is a waste to the point that when it is offered as optional add ins, I don't opt for it, and if it is a stretch goal, it is one that is useless to me (I would rather see useful game content added). When included at a pledge level, I don't consider it as added value so the rest of the included stuff has to make the value worth the pledge for me.

I honestly can't see too many people deciding to pledge for a project (or specific level of pledge) based solely on 'Oooh, look at this kewl poster that I get!' Give me extra game content instead.

I've got Super Cool signed prints from a couple kickstarters, and as I said, most sit at the bottom of the box and will never see the light of day again. A few items like that have hit the recycle bin as I was cleaning stuff out.

What's good for the CptJake is not necessarily good for the rest of us though!

I expect the gorilla will be on the SNAFU(?) expansion box art. Although this looks great!

And SNAFU is going to be an expansion box instead of a book. here's the cover:

Is Snafu going to be in the same kickstarter?

I love the original, making it a boxed expansion? HOO-RAY!!!!

yeah,
While I like the grind house poster themes that have been shown, it's great for actual posters and artworks in the rule book...
I don't like it much as the actual game box artwork, all the names etc looks very cluttered and almost narcissistic.

I'm very excited to see what you can achieve miniature wise within the boxed game for the apex kickstarter pledge!!??

I have a feeling... I'm all in...

Panic...

Converting SNAFU to a boxed set is part of the KS (included in the base funding, not some stretch goal). It'll have the mi-13 minis in plastic along with the expansion units of the SWD and Lucky 7th. And the necessary counters from the SNAFU missions.

I am very much looking forward to this kickstarter!

dam this is looking fine - as one of thos people with the origional boxed game I can't say enough how good a rules set and experince this game is - definately in for this for the snafu expansion and plastic minis

Here! Take my wallet already!

I'm all in - just get the kickstarter going already!

When is the game going to production and sale?

I think it's gonna be a KS isn't it?

Yes, it is.

So a lot will depend on how well the Kickstarter does, I'd imagine...

KS starts early Aug, runs 30 days and, assuming it funds, we anticipate having product produced within 6 months after.

Ugh. Early Aug. that's when wrath of kings is going to launch too. Can you do mid August so I can spend copious amounts of money on both ;-)

Burning Suns is rolling out around that time too. 4x space minis!

Thank goodness I budgeted money for all three of these kickstarters, and I'm dumping a bunch of old ps1 rpgs to help cover all the add ons. Hopefully nothing else shows up or I'm going to be in trouble (like Mantic's Mars Attacks).

I think there's something wrong when I show my son SNAFU's cover and his first thought of seeing the drohnes was he was reminded of the brain jars of Yuggoth.

Burning suns?!?! Pm me a link?

Burning Suns looks very interesting but I will still hold out for Incursion.

Likewise Kings of War is not for me and although for the nostalgia of it I will probably collect the new Topps cards for Mars Attacks. my gut feeling is that Mantic have too much on to make a decent fist of the tabletop version. Short lead in will most likely see rushed poorly executed models, with a adapted version of Warpath rather than something new.

I cannot wait to see what is on offer from Grindhouse.

Kings of War is Mantc. Wrath of Kings is a diff and from CMoN

More brain jars, more diver helmets, more zombies!

I'd stick some up, I've already got a couple of similar things up in the gaming room, but lack space for full sized posters (it's all A4 or post cards).

I just feel that if they've already gone to the effort of creating the art for the game/box/rules then there's minimal more effort involve in making some into standalone art (as in it doesn't need to be designed/started from scratch) and could be something that'd appeal to a lot of gamers, even if it's an add on or stretch.

I'm already going to get the figs & expansion, but I'd happily add in another few bucks for some smallish art pieces to put up. I'd already considered trying to get one of the rulebook pages up but didn't want to have to ruin the book.

I'm sure this has been mentioned. But will Incursion + SNAFU be rereleased in proper plastic rather than restic/equivilants?

There's practically a drought right now at kickstarter for miniatures based board games, it such a great time to launch the Incursion KS right now.. no competition whatsoever. =)

Boardgame quality plastic. See Zombicide for an example. We should have prototypes up at the start of the KS

Oh....

Zombicide plastic isn't too bad.

Fine by me if it means keeping the prices reasonable... or packing more plastic into the box as it is.
